I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 18 Don't Treat Your Children as Wise Men

"In your opinion, where is the ancestor?" Zhixuan was undecided in his heart, and he couldn't let his retainers participate in many things, so he asked Zhiyao about this child.

Of course, Zhibi no longer treats Zhiyao as a child.

Whether it is what Zhiyao did in "Father Huang", or his ability to make correct judgments on the situation after he came to "Xintian", in terms of IQ and vision, many adults may not be able to compare.

Under this kind of real situation, Zhibi is willing to discuss some things with Zhiyao in detail.

The great chaos in the Jin Kingdom all the time broke out in "Xintian", and then the flames of war ignited everywhere.

This time was different, Zhong Xingyin and Shi Jishe dragged their families back to the fief early. Whether it was the monarch or Zhao Yang who wanted to do something, they couldn't directly shoot Zhong Xingyin and Shiji to death in "Xintian".

They want to destroy the Fan family and the Zhongxing family. What they can do is to assemble a large army for a long and cruel war until they kill Zhong Xingyin and Shiji or force them to leave the country, or Zhao, Han and Wei The defeat of the Jin family is likely to be exhausted, and both sides will suffer, and this civil strife in Jin will come to an end.

Zhiyao said: "The ancestors should stay in the 'Xintian'."

Anyway, apart from Zhao's camp, "Xintian" is a neutral faction headed by Zhi. Does Zhao still dare to make enemies for nothing?

Zhiyao said again: "Your Majesty, you have to guard against it."

In fact, Zhixuan came back to his senses only later, knowing that the situation has evolved into what it is now, with traces of the monarch's manipulation.

Since the monarch chooses to be a chess player, Zhao Yang has become one of the chess pieces. God knows whether Zhishi is also placed as a chess piece on the monarch's chessboard.

Out of various worries, Zhibi fell into hesitation, and the idea of ​​leaving "Xintian" for safety prevailed, but he couldn't help but feel that leaving "Xintian" would make himself a complete joke.

Zhiyao said: "A big battle next year is inevitable. My family gathers four 'divisions' in the fiefdom, and they only need to mobilize and approach the 'Xintian' to station. There is no need to worry about safety. If necessary, you can also be a fisherman."

Here, Zhibi didn't understand what "fisherman" meant.

So Zhiyao had no choice but to explain the allusion of "the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit".This allusion happened in the Western Han Dynasty, but there is no Spring and Autumn Period anyway.

Hearing this, Chibi fell into deep thought.

Zhishen, as the successor of the next generation Patriarch of the Zhi Clan, was very busy. He went to various fiefs of the Zhi Clan to issue a call-up order, and personally led the assembled private army to change the station.

How busy Zhishen is, represents how unstable the Zhi family is. Otherwise, would the heir need to be as busy as a spinning top to run back and forth for an order from the Patriarch?

"At that time, the ancestors can go to various military camps, condemn those who obey the orders, and send envoys to kill those who refuse to come, so that my family's internal troubles will be eliminated." Zhiyao said something that had been brewing for a long time.

In the last year, Confucius' career of "falling into the three capitals" in the state of Lu was successful and failed.

Success refers to the demolition of the city walls of "Fei", "Tai", and "Cheng", and also killed Gongshan Buxuan and other rebels who disobeyed the master's family.

The failure was that Sanhuan not only repented halfway, but also forced Lu Jun Song to remove Confucius from his official position, and then forced Confucius to leave Lu.

Knowing that he was about to lose power, Confucius stopped paying attention to government affairs and instead planned to kill Shaozhengmao. For this reason, he wrote a letter to Zi Gong who was in the Zhi family of Jin, asking Zi Gong to ask if the Zhi family could take him in.The letter has not yet been delivered to Zigong, but it will probably arrive in the summer of next year.

What happened in the State of Lu not only had a great impact on the State of Lu, but also affected the princes of the world.

Taking the Zhi family as an example, seeing how the situation in the Lu State was progressing, he couldn't help but think of the actions of some retainers in his family, thinking that if he didn't deal with it quickly, he would repeat the mistakes of the Lu State Sanhuan!

Has there ever been a case where the master was rebelled by his retainers in the state of Jin?some.

However, the state of Jin is not the state of Lu. There are very few cases of retainers rebelling against their masters, and many families united to attack and destroy them time and time again. The reputation of the family whose retainers rebelled absolutely plummeted.

It's not how united the families of the Jin State are, it's simply that they know not to strangle the ministers who betrayed the lord, what if their retainers follow suit?So it must be struck with thunderous means!

When Zhibi wanted to speak, a family member came to tell him that it was Dong Anyu, a retainer of the Zhao family, who asked to see him.

Who is this Dong Anyu?It was he who suggested that Zhao Yang build "Jinyang" and proposed the various advantages of the Taiyuan Basin. He was not only the first adviser of the Zhao family, but also personally responsible for supervising the construction of the new city of "Jinyang".

"Why did Dong Anyu return from 'Jinyang' to 'Xintian'?" Zhibi whispered.

How could the ambitious Zhiyao not take the initiative to understand the characters of each family, most of them have not seen it with their own eyes, and they have heard about who has what ability.

Dong Anyu was quickly brought over, and when he appeared, he saluted and said, "Master Zhi is in danger!"

Whoa! ?

Who are you scaring?

This is playing head start!

Zhixuan was obviously taken aback, but was preempted by others when he wanted to speak.

"No, it's Zhao Shiwei!" Zhiyao said.

Now it is the Zhao family who is notorious in the street, and it has provoked the disgust of the neutral nobles in the country. If the reputation is not quickly reversed, the old things of Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo may not repeat in Zhao Yang's generation.

What the hell?It was Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo who repeatedly made mistakes, and made mistakes again and again on some options, which led to the "difficulty in going to the palace" that led to the demise of the Zhao family.

Zhixuan, who was frightened just now, simply shut up, feeling really ashamed in his heart, thinking: "I'll just stick to it, Shen's generation should strengthen Yao's authority, so that the old Zhi family can be saved!"

Dong Anyu was stunned that the situation did not follow the script. If there were many preparations in advance, it seemed that it should be changed.

Zhiyao didn't give Dong Anyu more time to think, and said: "Fan's four 'divisions', Zhongxing's one 'army', Handan Zhao's second 'division', and another 'division' of all the families combined forces, a total of two 'divisions'. There are two 'divisions' of the 'army'; one 'army' of the Zhao family, two 'divisions' of the Han family, and three 'divisions' of the Wei family, and there is not much to respond."

Surprised or not, is it unexpected?In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there were already "armies" and "divisions"

The organization, and then down is "Brigade", "Pawn", "Two", "Shi", and "Wu".

The monarch redefined this incident, which made some families feel that they needed to take it easy. The troops were assembled, but they did not indicate that they would stand in the Zhao family's camp.

Therefore, the current comparison of military strength is that Fan, Zhongxing, and Handan Zhao have two more "divisions" of troops than Zhao, Han, and Wei.

The Zhao family, the Han family and the Wei family combined have fewer troops than the Fan family and the Zhongxing family. Can you guess why the monarch wants to count the Fan family and the Zhongxing family?

Because each vehicle is matched with 75 infantry, an "army" of the Jin State consists of [-] chariots and [-] soldiers.

Then, if the neutral party is not counted, the combined total strength of the various families who showed their banners to participate in the war reached an astonishing 16 soldiers.

In the current era, the population of the entire country may not be as large as 16 people in many countries, men, women, old and children. From this alone, we can see how powerful Jin is.

The strange thing is that when the Jin State launched a national war, it always used fewer troops than in a civil war. At most, it dispatched four "armies" in the era of the "Eight Ministers", usually with the Chu State. , the other countries do not need so many troops.

Dong Anyu was stupefied when Zhiyao read the data for a while, thinking: "It's not that I'm at a disadvantage, what am I going to do with Zhishi? It's just that... I can scare Zhishi with a small price. Now ...It seems that he has to bleed profusely?"
